According to her, this is one of the most interesting parts of her job the amount of effort and patience that goes into creating moments viewers often take for granted.
Okojie used the opportunity to remind her followers that acting involves far more than what audiences see in the final cut.
She explained that behind every scene are long hours of preparation, repeated takes, problem-solving on set, and sometimes physically uncomfortable or unpleasant tasks.
She said: “Yes! I entered a real dumpster truck for a scene in Blood Sisters 2.
She continued:”We spent an entire day filming in Oregun for what became just a few seconds on screen. And honestly, that’s one of the things I find most fascinating about filmmaking.
“A gentle reminder that it’s often a lot less glamorous than it looks. Behind every scene are hours of work, patience, problem-solving, teamwork, and sometimes climbing into dumpster trucks. The thought of it still makes me cringe, but the job had to be done”.
She added: “Keep watching Blood Sisters 2 on Netflix”.
